The Tokyo Comedy Store

"Funnier than you think we'll be!"

The Tokyo Comedy Store is proud to bring you Tokyo's best all English comedy, at a variety of venues around town. The Tokyo Comedy Store isn't a particular place, it's a group of performers who have different shows
in different places
- we bring the comedy to you! We've been the cornerstone of English comedy in Tokyo since 1995, and we're not only still going strong, but getting funnier and more polished every year! And being in our audience or joining our community of people who love to laugh is a great way to meet friends and hang out with the funniest people in town.

Shows by Content

All our shows are in English!

The Tokyo Comedy Store loves all kinds of comedy, but standup and improv are the nearest to our heart. Our shows tend to focus on one or the other, but some have a little of both, and you can use our handy chart here to get a sense of what our shows offer. You can also see we have workshops and events that foster the comedy enthusiasts who learn and participate in our broader Tokyo Comedy Store community. We have a system for developing talent up from student shows and open mike nights to our featured shows, loosely represented by Mount Fuji in the background.

Shows by Location

The Tokyo Comedy Store performs around Tokyo, though as you can see we perform mainly around Shibuya, and over the years we've had shows in Roppongi and Shinjuku. We go where the heat is, and that means essentially the main hangouts for the English speaking community.

Shows by Price

The Tokyo Comedy Store prices our shows at roughly 750 yen per hour of entertainment, which is a pretty good deal in this town! Exact prices and payment system vary from show to show. Some shows take payment at the door, and other shows ask that you buy a drink. Also, price can vary depending on the show content. Shows that feature newer performers will be priced lower, for example.
